When I fought Cao Xiong, I was beaten so badly that I could hardly breathe after just one round. My impression of him was that his martial arts skills were above those of Niu Tou from Fengmen Village.
Seeing Cao Xiong attack, I felt a real sense of panic, after all, I had personally witnessed this executioner slaughtering members of the Wei family.
As Cao Xiong charged toward me, Wei Shengnan caught up from the side and delivered a whip kick to Cao Xiong's cheek.
Faced with Wei Shengnan's attack, Cao Xiong was forced to stop and raised his arm to block her attack. He then squatted down and used a sweeping leg kick to strike Wei Shengnan's other ankle.
Faced with Cao Xiong's attack, Wei Shengnan dodged with a somersault and thrust her dagger straight at Cao Xiong's neck.
"Smack!"
Seeing Wei Shengnan's movements, Cao Xiong grabbed her wrist with incredible speed, then pulled his leg back to the back of Wei Shengnan's ankle, stood up, and pressed her arm down behind her.
Seeing Cao Xiong's actions, my pupils contracted sharply.
His move uses the explosive force of Bajiquan; if it succeeds, Wei Shengnan's arm will be easily broken.
Just as I was about to get up to help, Song Laosan, who had caught up, raised his Taser and pulled the trigger directly at me.
"Crackling and popping!"
The electrode with the wire attached hooked onto Cao Xiong's body and began to release high voltage, causing Cao Xiong's movements to become somewhat distorted.
"Bang!"
Wei Shengnan seized the opportunity, kicked Cao Xiong back, adjusted her posture, gripped the knife again, and charged forward.
I thought Wei Shengnan would easily defeat Cao Xiong, but I didn't expect this guy's physical fitness to be so outstanding. Faced with the Taser attack, he only experienced a brief moment of hesitation, and then directly grabbed the wire and pulled the electrode off his body.
"Bang!"
With another muffled thud, Wei Shengnan was knocked back by Cao Xiong's punch.
"Whoosh!"
I seized the opportunity and threw a knife at Cao Xiong, which pierced his leg.
Cao Xiong felt a sharp pain in his leg. Before I could get up, he rushed forward with red eyes, yelling, "You little brat, you're asking for it!"
"Duan Shenxing! Watch out!"
With a sharp cry, Jiang Man rushed out from the nearby woods and swung her machete at Cao Xiong, blocking his path.
Immediately afterwards, several people around Jiang Man rushed forward and charged towards Cao Xiong.
Because of Wei Shengnan and the others' delay, I had a brief respite. After recovering a bit, I got up from the ground.
At this moment, everyone's attention in the valley was focused on us. The men in black robes rushed over one after another. Although the number of Jiang family bodyguards and Wei family members was greater than that of the men in black robes, more than half of them had already fallen. On the other hand, the men in black robes had suffered less than a third of casualties.
I knew that the people in black robes were all carefully selected experts, but I had never engaged in a large-scale confrontation with them, and I had no idea that these people could be so terrifying.
A large group of men in black were attacking us. I knew that we couldn't achieve our goal in the face of such overwhelming strength. To protect Jiang Man, I could only roar, "The difference in strength is too great! Everyone, prepare to retreat!"
"Retreat? None of you will escape today!"
Cao Xiong was furious at my sneak attack and roared hysterically, "Charge up and grab them! Today I'm going to bury them all alive as a sacrifice to the heavens!"
"Whoosh!"
Upon hearing this, the men in black robes surged forward like they'd been injected with adrenaline.
A member of the Wei family ran into the woods behind the building, intending to check the retreat route for Wei Shengnan. However, he was slashed in the face with a knife and ran out screaming, "There are their people behind us too!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
We're surrounded!
In my memory, whether it's Wei Shengnan or Jiang Man, they are both top-notch experts, and the people around them are as skilled as combat athletes. In real life, one of them could easily take on three or four ordinary people.
However, no matter how strong these people are, they are still people living in modern civilized society. They don't fight and kill every day. On the other hand, the people in black robes have been involved in the antique world and the tomb raiding circle for many years. They are in contact with huge profits and desperate criminals who are working for these profits.
As the saying goes, "When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail." The men in black robes dance on the edge of a knife every day. Those who survive are the best of the best, having survived countless fierce battles. Their ruthlessness and combat experience far surpass ours.
As the men in black robes closed in, the young man wielding the staff charged from the side. His teammates, centered around him, withstood the attack from one direction. These men were clearly seasoned veterans; their movements were ruthless, and their teamwork was impeccable. They managed to withstand the attack from one side.
I saw them withstand the attack from the men in black robes, and I encouraged everyone, "Cover them, let's break through together!"
"Let's give it our all!"
Seeing that the space we were in was being compressed, Song Laosan roared and charged towards the group that was besieging us.
In the face of life and death, everyone rushed towards the crowd on the other side. Everywhere I looked, there were people in black robes. Everyone was crowded together, and the scene was chaotic. The space for everyone to even swing their weapons became increasingly narrow.
Just as we were fighting desperately, the black-robed men in front of us suddenly broke up, which greatly reduced the pressure on us.
I was surrounded by the crowd and could only hear a commotion outside. At the same time, I was also wondering who was coming to our aid.
At this moment, most of our people are surrounded here, with only Qu Ruilin remaining outside.
But there were only five of them, how could they possibly cause such a big disturbance to the Black Card team?
Although it was unclear why the black-robed figures were causing a disturbance, it was definitely a good thing for us. Taking advantage of the chaos, I slashed at one of the men in front of me twice and kicked him back. The others seized the opportunity and tore a gap in the black-robed figures' encirclement.
Seeing that there was an exit on my side, the young man wielding the staff knocked down one of the men in front of him with a swift lunge and a sweep of the staff, then charged forward: "Brothers, follow me!"
I saw the young man with the Qi Mei stick charge out alone, and I shouted from behind, "Everyone, don't scatter! Stick together and charge outwards, or you'll get separated!"
He was clearly in a killing frenzy and couldn't hear my shouts at all. He knocked down one person in front of him, and when he saw someone else rushing over, he swung his stick, but the other person grabbed the stick.
"Snap!"
As the two struggled, the young man's staff broke in two, and he himself was knocked to the ground.
Looking around, I saw many people in black robes lying on the ground around the young man, already lifeless. I saw the stiff faces of the attackers and the clothes they wore. I roared, "Everyone be careful! The people from Ping'an Village have arrived! They've released the corpses!"
